4hw.com.cn: speaking of Huajia, I believe you are not unfamiliar, especially in summer, whether at home or at the dinner point, a fried Huajia is everyone's favorite food. But many people don't know that if we don't spit out the sand before eating the flower beetle, it will become a black mud soup, which will affect the taste of the soup and our taste and experience. So, how long does it take to spit? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian~
How long does it take to spit sand
The specific time of spitting sand is related to the way of treatment, and the time of different ways is different.
1, brine
Salt water can simulate the growth environment of the flower beetle and let it open its shell to spit sand. However, if only sea water (salt water) is used to soak the flower beetle, this kind of desilting needs a long time, and it is better to place it overnight. If it's clean, it's about 6 hours.
2. Oil and water
If you add a layer of oil film (drop a few drops of sesame oil) to the immersed water surface, the oxygen content in the water will be reduced. In order to absorb oxygen, the flower beetle will try to exchange air. At this time, the time can be greatly reduced, and it only takes 2 to 3 hours to spit out the sand.
3, salt + oil
If you add an oil film to the salt water, it's faster. Put the bought flower armor into a basin filled with clean water, add some salt, drop a few drops of sesame oil, wait about 1 hour, stir the flower armor (remember to stir repeatedly), so that the flower armor will spit out the sand, and then just clean it with water.
4. Refrigeration
If you use a small amount of water, half dry and half wet refrigerated culture in the refrigerator, the time of spitting sand is very fast, generally 1 to 2 hours can be spit clean.
Can flower beetles spit out the sand
1. The living flower armor can still spit out most of the sand, such as the sand on the skirt of flower armor. However, the sand embedded in the inside of the flower beetle can't be completely spit out, so you should pay attention to it when eating.
2. If the flower beetle dies, it can't spit out the sand by itself. Generally, it needs to wash the sand away slowly.
